Comparing two breathing machines for babies with bronchiolitis
Part of Infections, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study tests if a new type of breathing machine (NAVA) works better than the standard machine for babies under 2 with severe bronchiolitis in the pediatric ICU. The goal is to see which machine helps babies breathe easier and avoid needing a breathing tube.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your baby must be under 2 years old and have bronchiolitis.
- Your baby must be in the pediatric ICU for treatment.

- Your baby must not have low muscle tone (hypotonia).
- Your baby must not need a breathing tube right away or have unstable blood pressure requiring medication.

This study tests a simple breathing machine called the Neovent for newborns with mild to moderate breathing trouble in hospitals with limited resources. It aims to see if the device can help babies breathe easier without needing a breathing tube.
This study checks how a type of breathing machine support affects brain health in very premature infants. It may help doctors choose safer breathing support strategies to protect the brain.
This trial tests two different ways of adjusting a ventilator to help patients get off the breathing machine. It aims to find which method works better for people in the ICU who are ready to start the weaning process.
This study tests a new type of mask and breathing machine for patients in the ICU who need non-invasive breathing support (NIV). It looks at whether this method helps you breathe better. You may be eligible if you are stable, 18 or older, and can use a mask that fits under your nose.
